Samsung UN46C8000 vs UN46D8000 Does anyone know the differences?

C is 2010 model while D is 2011. D comes with 2 pairs of 3D glasses, built-in wifi, and can access NAS drive. C is already too clear for me. It makes movies look ridiculous, I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was this clear. It's great for everything else though, i.e. news, sport, games, documentary, etc...

it depends on what you use it for. It wont make any difference with gaming because the 240 hz refresh is disabled. you will notice a difference with fast moving scenes and sports displayed in HD. You can get a un46b8000 or un55b8000, both are 240 HZ LED tv's with very good picture quality. They are cheap right now as well because the new 2010 models are out.

From Samsung's Website: The C8000 offers these features over the C7000: Brighter White & Deeper Black w/ Real Black Filter, Motion Judder Canceler, Smooth playback of movies with Cinema Smooth, Expert picture quality with Calibration Mode.

You know I have both types but only view one at a time and have not done a comparison. One thing I will say about this particular TV is that I would not buy it again. While watching regular Movies or Shows on Netflix or Amazon prime I see motion blur and the the internet connectivity is so sensitive that daily drops out to search for a signal all the while a 2 year older Samsung TV 40' away on the same wireless network doesn't drop out.

I just got a refurb 46" Samsung LNT4669F from Amazon Warehouse deals and it is fantastic. Plus, we saved well over $600 by not buying new. You still get the Samsung 1-year warranty. If you don't like the condition of the t.v. when it's delivered, just refuse it. If you notice a problem later, call amazon and they will arrange pick-up for the defective television.

The difference is $1,000 - $1,200. With all else being the same, I saw no noticeable difference between the 120 & 240Hz Samsung models, or with other 120 & 240 sets I have for that matter. The difference in the price is very noticeable.

There are pretty much the same it terms of specs, with only a few differences. First, is the ever so marketing touting contrast ratio. Plasma HDTV's will seeming always have better contrast ratio then LED, but uses 2 to 3 times and sometimes more energy. I have the F8000 and I must say haven't had any issues to date, but I also read some good things about the F8500. Cnet has a good write up and video review on this very comparison, you should check it out. As I said earlier, the F8500 black levels are darker, but the F8000 can really brighten up a room which I prefer myself. The major physical difference is the weight and style of both HDTVs, the plasma is bulky while the LED is slimmer. Which ever you choose, I think you'll be pretty pleased with your purchase.

A. Leetham,Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. Based on your informative review of the C7000, I've decided to hold off on purchasing the C7000 until I read your review of the C8000, and until I have a chance to see it in person. Plus, I want to take advantage of the free 3D Starter Kit that Samsung is supposed to be offering soon.By chance, do you know when the C8000 will be available for purchase?Thanks!

The 62 series are terrible. They are older models which have poor picture quality and often suffer from horizontal banding issues. Go with the 64 series for sure. I own the 46" 64U series btw.

I went with the 4661F mainly because of the non-glare screen. I looked at them both, side-by-side in the store at Best Buy in full daylight and the 4665 was just too reflective and distractive, like looking into a mirror. So what if it has a better contrast ratio. It's really negligible unless you are a videophile geek with superhuman bionic vision who can really distinguish between contrast blacks. And for the money, the 4661F is the better deal. Easiest choice I have ever made buying a television and couldn't be happier.

I did. I was debating between 8500 and VT60 and decided for the latter. They are both excellent TVs. I think for some reason Samsung appeared to be a bit more colorful and brighter than Panasonic. I think its because of their calibration and proprietary enhancer..However, I heard some quality issues with other Samsung models, especially with LCDs on other forums and went with the VT60 instead. It was a 50-49 decision making..However, for a bright room, I regret buying the Plasma because of the reflections. Given the specs, quad core etc. and browsing experience, I should've gone for Samsung but again Panasonic is king for plasma and my other Panasonic is still with no issues after 8 years.. I did.

I have the 58B860 and really enjoy the tv. I even encourage my dad to purchase one. I believe the only difference between the two tv's is the 3d technology. If you want 3d then I would say go with the c8000, but if you want a tv that is alot cheaper, and has great picture quality, then go for the 58b860. You may be able to find the 58b60 at a local retail store on clearance. I purchased mine for 1699.00 and my dad purchased his for 1529.00 from HHgregg. Hope this helps.

Perhaps you have already made your decision? What did you choose? This something I am also mulling over. Both seem to be very good tvs and both seem to have issues (buzzing, fading black levels, etc). When a decisding between 2 good choices is difficult, perhaps both either option is a good one? Price is important and the samsung is much less expensive. Save the money for the next hi tech device you need to replace?
